Based on the recommendation by the Department of Transportation's External Audit <br />Branch, grantees shall limit reimbursement for meals, lodging and travel to the rates <br />established by the State of North Carolina Travel Policy. Costs incurred by grantees in <br />excess of these rates shall be borne by the grantee. <br />• The policy of the Department of Transportation is to allow disadvantaged business <br />enterprises, including minorities and women, to participate in federal and state financial <br />assistance. We encourage you to use the DOT web site for subcontractors that are <br />certified for DBE, MBE, and WBE at http•//apps dot state.nc.us/vendor/directory and for <br />Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) at http://www.doa.state.nc.us/hub/ when <br />purchasing goods and services. <br />In accordance with the grant agreement, Grantees have an option of submitting requests <br />for reimbursement quarterly or monthly. Based on the level of paperwork, <br />NCDOT/Financial Management encourages grantees that are required to submit <br />supporting documentation to elect to submit their requests for reimbursement on a <br />monthly basis. Grantees must indicate their selection of monthly or quarterly submittals <br />on the attached form. Failure to request reimbursement within 30 days following the end <br />of the period covered as outlined in the agreement may result in non-payment or <br />termination of the project. Request for reimbursement must include expenditures <br />incurred during the period covered. Please note that special provisions will be given to <br />accruals such as public utilities and other costs/charges where payments were made after <br />the period covered. <br />Each request for reimbursement must be accompanied by the following: <br />1. A cover letter on Orange County's agency letterhead; <br />2. A completed request for reimbursement form located at the PTD website at <br />http:%/www.ncdot. org/trans it/nctransit/resources.html. <br />3. Advance payment form, if applicable; <br />4. Xerox copy of check (only for vehicle purchase); <br />5. Original invoices supporting all claimed expenditures, if applicable (all eligible <br />expenditures must be highlighted/staple together and include expenses <br />incurred during the period covered); <br />6. An executed vendor payment form for all payment or non-payment made to a <br />subcontractor or a DBE/MBEIWBE firm. <br />• A copy of Orange County's year-end audit report should be forwarded to this office after <br />completion, but no later than one year after the audit period ends. <br />
